Some of you may have seen a bit of surprising and shocking news about one of the key players in the Sinclair family Knights Templar drama. Postings on a blog devoted to exposing sexual abuse earlier this week alleged that Niven Sinclair, a longtime talking head on Templar conspiracy programs (most recently Forbidden History) and one of the wealthy patrons of modern Templar conspiracy researchers, is a convicted child sexual predator. I confirmed the reports with the court records from the British court system, and it appears that the Templar conspiracy theorist is the same Niven Sinclair who has been convicted more than once on charges of sodomizing a significant number of boys aged 12 to 15 in the 1960s and 1970s. He spent time in prison after each conviction. The court records make for disturbing reading, including allegations that he ordered at least one boy to submit to him at gunpoint, and I learned that the Mirror picked up the story late last night.

After his release from prison, in 1977 Sinclair became a chauffeur for the BBC, which was later revealed to have looked the other way when pedophiles like Jimmy Savile abused children. He then rose to wealth through expanding his car service into the BBC’s preferred service, delivering thousands of guests over three decades, including at least one prime minister, with a fleet of dozens of cars.

Sinclair is a longtime advocate of the Sinclair family and has supported research into its fictitious history, including its alleged discovery of America in the 1300s and alleged descent from Jesus, both of which he professes to believe. The Clan Sinclair research library is named for him. Sinclair claimed, in words that now seem ominous, that his family should be an inspiration to youths.

“We need to encourage the young who, in this troubled and tormented World, desperately need the stability of having family roots to which they can turn with pride and endeavour to emulate in their own lives,” he wrote in 2000.

Sinclair family researcher Steve St. Clair describes Niven Sinclair as his good and close friend.

“Few people have been more loyal in their support of our project than Niven Sinclair of the UK,” St. Clair wrote on his website. “Niven is the one who has pressed, more than any other, for testing of Native North Americans, the Losna family and others who may help us better understand our complex ancient history.”

There is no evidence that St. Clair was aware of Sinclair’s convictions.

Speaking of allegedly felonious fringe history types:

Back in February a bit of a brouhaha arose over the Conspira-Sea Cruise, in which conspiracy theorists gathered on a cruise ship to swap paranoid rants and dubious legal advice. Skeptics and journalists on board the ship reported harassment, and when the cruise ended, its host, Sean David Morton, was arrested for tax fraud and faces up to 650 years in prison if convicted. While all of this was going on, Annie Georgia Greenberg was shooting a documentary about the cruise for Refinery 29, a women’s interests lifestyle magazine. She described her experience on Refinery 29’s website earlier this month.

You really have to see the video to believe it.

Sean David Morton tells so many lies in the video, it’s hard to keep track. He claims to have attended school at Oxford and Stanford (he audited fringe psychic classes held in rented rooms on campus, unaffiliated with either school), and he claims to have a Ph.D. in psychology. He actually purchased a Ph.D.-equivalency degree from a Sri Lankan diploma mill. He also claims to be an award-winning screenwriter and producer, the host of the internet’s top-rated radio show, and a host of other dubious superlatives that, if any were true, should have made him famous enough to need no introduction.“They don’t want you to know they’re using HAARP to control the weather,” he tells Greenberg. “They don’t want you to know what’s in Area 51. They don’t want you to know that there’s a small cartel of about 750 people that own everything.”“And who are ‘they’ in this case?” Greenberg asks.“You’re talking about an extraterrestrial species called the Nephilim, the sons of God, somehow that intermate (sic) with human beings,” Morton replies. “And their sons and daughters became the kings and queens, which is the aristocracy, which is the government.”Laura Eisenhower, the great-granddaughter of Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, shows up to prattle on about “cosmic warfare,” and it’s fascinating the hear the array of nonsensical pseudo-scholarly titles she’s assigned herself: “global alchemist” (as opposed to a purely local one?), a “cosmic mythologist” (as opposed to those who refuse to deal with creation myths?), and “intuitive astrologist” (which I guess means that she doesn’t bother with all the math of regular astrology?). Eisenhower says that the U.S. government recruited her to live on Mars, and she believes that the “blue” aliens are in contact with the goddess of the thirteenth gate. But like most conspiracy theorists, she is also violently opposed to Hillary Clinton and actually told her followers not to vote for her because “she isn’t human. Nuh-uh. She’s not. We don’t even want to know what she is.”Be sure to watch out for Joshua P. Warren, a fraud who sells a “wishing machine” for $195. The function-free box has some black plastic dials on it that Warren says can be tuned to “frequencies” to make wishes come true through the power of the mind. Remarkably, despite the availability of this technology Warren has somehow failed to make his own wishes for fame and fortune come to pass, except insofar as gullible idiots send him $195 for a some glued-together spare parts. He also sells a “real” magic wand that he has personally made with stones he claims to have stolen from Dracula’s castle in Romania for added vampire power. The wand runs $99.95. Business must be good, though. He’s bought a dream house in North Carolina and a vacation home in Puerto Rico on the backs of the gullible.

I really enjoyed the video by Ms. Greenberg, I liked her open approach. To read more about the Conspira-Sea Criuse from a reporter that attended, you should have a look at this blog, https://violentmetaphors.com/ , fourth entry down

Thank you Jason for posting this info on Niven Sinclair. One thing I want to point out here. While Niven Sinclair was once very involved with Clan Sinclair he has not been for some yearsand was on the outs with some of the ones in charge.Anything Niven has put out in the past few years regarding sinclairs is of his own doings and not sanctioned by Clan Sinclair

He Niven has been chums with Steve StClair for some years now, funding his projects and trying to promote his DNA as the Sinclair line.Steve stClair has adamantly defended Niven even after this news broke....WHY

Niven Sinclair has done his DNA and while he may have been involved with the Clan Sinclair, neither Niven Sinclair or Steve StClair are proven by DNA to absolutly NOT be any part of the Sinclair Family. Sinclair Family being the line of which descends from the Titles Historical Family Sinclair, yes the Rosslyn Chapel lot. DNA for these Sinclairs is confirmed and again these two are not GENETIC Sinclairs...

I have to wonder how Steve StClair likes his name associated with his child rapeest friend now

Thank You

"Niven Sinclair"

As you are aware, the people of Orkney and Shetland still stress their Norwegian links and, if Scotland ever declared independence, there are those in Orkney who would wish to renew their allegiance to Norway as they believe the Treaty of Breda (signed in 1668) attests..

It will be recalled that on 8th September, 1468 a contract of marriage was signed between King James III of Scotland and Margaret, the daughter of King Christian of Norway, Sweden and Denmark by which it was agreed that a dowry of 60,000 florins be paid by the king for his bride. Of the dowry, it was agreed that 10,000 florins would be paid in cash whilst the Islands of Orkney would be thrown in for the balance of 50,000 florins. In the event, only 2,000 florins was paid in cash so the Shetland Islands were made over to Scotland to cover the shortfall of 8,000 florins (It is apparent that, in the 15th century, Shetland was seen tó be worth considerably less than Orkney !!)

Thus, both the Northern islands groups (i.e. Orkney and Shetland) were mortgaged to Scotland until such time as King Christian (or his successors) could pay off the balance of 58,000 florins. This did NOT extinguish the reversionary claims or the interest of Norway to the islands as was laid down by the Treaty of Breda. As late as 1567 (a century after the transfer) the Scottish Parliament attested the right of redemption to Norway and, in the meantime, agreed to recognise the ancient laws of the islands.

Furthermore, the Plenipotentiaries of Europe assembled in Breda in 1668 attested that the right of redemption was‘unprescribed and imprescribable’. One wonders what the European Union would make of such a redemption today ? It would certainly give them a headache or they might see it as another stick with which to beat the British over the head.

As aye,

Niven

Niven Sinclair is not involved with Clan Sinclair IN ANY WAY. Yes, he was in the past, but no longer.

Niven Sinclair has absolutely nothing to do with Clan Sinclair. He completely disgraced himself about 10 years ago by spreading lies about sever people in leadership rolls within the Clan. Other than Steve St. Clair, I doubt you could find anyone in the Clan who would have anything to do with Niven. It was only recently that the news of Niven's criminal past came out and until then it was totally unknown to members of the Sinclair family.

The gossips have made the charges and mentioned year that the offenses were prosecuted, but here in the U.S. it is fairly easy to look up court records, briefs filed with charges, etc. where is this official data in writing to be viewed and where is the official entrance and exit data when Niven went into the gray bar hotels? No proof has been offered, that is a poor way of reporting. Show proof of the offenses committed by Niven. Where are all his victims? Are they posting details? Right now Niven is 92 years of age, there is no secret about his sexual orientation, but he is hardly a threat with his serious health problems at age 92 to anyone of any sex or age at this point in time.

Sweetheart, he may not "be a threat right now," but I don't care about that. I care that someone who would rape underage kids thinks he should be held up as an "inspiration" for those same kids.

I also find YOU to be rather contemptible. You want victims of rape to be forced to relive their experience for your prurient review, and you will defend a man who was CONVICTED if they don't? What kind of piece of human effluvium are you? And yes, I am bothered that you have even SAID that. Demanding links to court documents is one thing. Demanding that victims post DETAILS of SEXUAL ASSAULT on the Internet is disgusting, hurtful, and contemptible.

Somebody once said "no family carries as much emotional baggage as the Sinclairs!"
Well this Sinclair does not and that led me and a non Sinclair highly qualified researcher to look for the actual primary source evidence not the family tales so I could hand facts down to my family.
In total that took 10 years so I promised my researcher we would publish as well which we did releasing 'The Enigmatic Sinclairs" 'A definitive Guide to the Sinclairs in Scotland' at the Rosslyn Chapel Visitors Centre last October where it is available both physically and on line.
Published by stclairpublishing.com where all reviews can be seen and it can also be bought online as it can from Amazon.
The irony is the facts alone (there is a minimum of Authors opinion in this book) which were much more voluminous than we expected, so much so we had to alter plans and stop the book after the death of William Sinclair 3rd Earl of Orkney and Chapel builder, tell a story that is fascinating and interesting enough without resorting to tales.
Apart from a couple we mention we do not dwell on the stories but readers can rest assured that if they cannot find them we could not find any primary source evidence to support them so just omitted them without comment.
I am currently working on Volume II re William the Chapel Builder which will have the same basic approach but will borrow from the technique of Herodotus in the last Chapter which explores "why did he build the Chapel?" We will of course never know so in this Chapter there will not be definitive facts or claims (I dislike historians who do that) just possible options for readers to consider, one of which I have only ever seen mentioned fleetingly once and which I personally think is the most probable and I will explain why I do, but I will not categorically aver that option is correct and some others are not.

There's nothing unique or unusual about your family. This whole crazy fiasco began with that rubbish book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and the name Pierre Plantard (who appended the St Clair part to his surname during the early 1970s, that was not his birth name).

And then it became a good idea to patchwork the pseud-historical claims of Frederick J. Pohl - courtesy of Andrew Sinclair -- none of it better than "Holy Blood, Holy Grail".

All of which is Mother Goose hokum.

The Episcopal Church cum denomination was founded in 1789; while, Roslin Chapel was commenced in 1446.

Clarification: Yes, there is reference historically to Roslin Chapel in its nomenclature to St Matthew. Still odd. Would have thought Catherine, Clarus or Andrew. Didn't realise Matthew would have ranked first, against many other stronger cult candidates with claims to the period, place or lineage association.

Hi Jason -

Given the speed at which you move, I am reluctant to post an item
here in response to an earlier thread, but this is important.

It turns out that the Baton Rouge shooter was familiar with teh Washita de dugga de mounds here:

This is not an isolated instance, as there have been several other "shooters" who have followed a similar path.

Now as we may not use the words "insane" or "insanity", to avoid getting into legal and philosophical discussions, let's just use the word "nuts", or perhaps "nu-age nuts".

Like I pointed out before, adoption of these coherent delusional frameworks have preceded psychopathic acts of violence.

While on a daily basis Jason watches the water streaming from the hose, with his remarkable memory and analytical skills, as I am a low brow determinist, I tend to look at the hose and its connections:

You could think of it as a technological phenomenon: first, computerized mailing lists; second, desk top publishing; third, the social networking of the internet; forth, in terms of both video recording and narrow casting

My first note on an analysis of this social phenomenon was given here, where flip, mike, and V had problems with it:

As I mentioned in this comment, this shooter is only one example of this particular phenomenon. While cops being shot is not as much "fun" as looking at the latest nu-age load, I believe it is likely to be more important and useful to society as a whole.

Thanks V for getting on this person like good gawd man.

Niven Sinclair if you read the whole thing seems to have had plenty of time to make up his sinclair life, like being a major in the army, NOT among other things while serving his jail time.

Once a pediphile always a pediphile and I am sure the convictions here are only the tip of the iceberg . He is gay that we know and lives with his house boy from what I have heard ,all fine if you agree with the lifestyle I guess. Think the houseboy is at least of age. I also know others would love to come forward with their stories but are afraid to.

Steve StClairs web pages are full of quotes from his hero Niven Sinclair , most lies I assume. I also assume most of or all of the police that were involved back in the day have most likely passed on. With any luck maybe now that Nivens past has come to light thes police of today will familiarize themselves with the man and check things out further. Like maybe look into just who his close friends and associates are and check them out also!

I agree with GEE. Saying "gay" and "pedophile" together the way you have is rather like saying that "straight" and "rapist" are synonymous.

Hint: they're not.

Pedophiles are inherently rapists, whether they go after little girls or little boys, because children cannot consent to sex. Niven Sinclair is a RAPIST of the type pedophile, not a "gay man" of the type pedophile. Consenting, adult relationships are not actually pertinent, by definition, to his pedophilia, because consenting, adult relationships are not rape, by definition.

Please be careful of this distinction in the future. Screwing it up is harmful both to consenting adults and to victims of any kind of rape, including pedophilia.

Hello

Actuality you don't necessarily need DNA test to in fact by a Sinclair. Birth records SS records., would suffice. Family Tree / History. Do you think that I would have to get a DNA test to prove I am my mothers child? Or the granddaughter to my Grandmother. There are people alive in 2016, who were related to Kings Queens, Templar's., ... Vikings, Warriors.. and if at all applicable, Jesus Christ himself.. A pedophile is a pedophile, one person cannot determine how the entire family should be viewed.

While I see your point, part of the issue why DNA testing really should be involved is the blood-line claim. Adoption, pillaging, taking in children etc may make a complete paper-trail but does not necessarily show al the details so the DNA, ie actual blood-line, may have been compromised a hundred times.

Nothing more disgusting than a discussion of the purity or impurity of a bloodline.

Also, the Sinclair bloodline and DNA are totally unrelated to the history of the New World so it's pointless unless you just like knowing who you are or are not related to.

I have read that NPD can be inherited so maybe all the Sinclairs have it, maybe that is the bloodline conspiracy.

Also regarding the DNA end of things, it would appear none of you have a clue what the heck your talking about. Y DNA is Male dna only not carried by females. Any Sinclair male passes on his Y dna to his son to his son to his son for ever. The only way it changes is if their is an adoption,a cheating wife or someone simply took the name and says they are Sinclair as change of identity for whatever reason. So some dude who changed his name getting off the boat in America a few hundred years ago passed his dna down to all his sons and his grandchildren and grt grandchildren but are not genetic Sinclairs by birth or dna

Having met Niven and discussed religion; I would be very surprised if he thought himself a descendant from a divine Jesus. My best guess is Niven would hold a more general spirtually akin to animism.

With regards to the early European discovery of America, there exists Indian clan lore and interesting sculptures of American, pre-Colombian indigenous plants at Roslin Chapel, Rosslyn, Scotland. Co-operative, and, perhaps, even earlier journeys from Venice appear feasible.

Jesus, if there was ever such a person, was likely one of many first-century mendicants. Biologically, we humans, may just an ancillary circumstance to more fundamental processes propagating DNA.

Jason, your books and all experiences are mere sociological memes, contrived by our human selves, irrelevant to most of nature.

The Mary thing, Sinclair not Sinclair, has no religious meaning; possibly, no meaning at all, to we small critters on our tiny speck of dust in a vast universe. If there was a Jesus, fathering children, whom reproduced, there would likely be descendants going by many family names.
